He also hailed the efforts made by the Normalisation Committee of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) which recently installed a Technical Director, a move he described as excellent and one that could definitely fast track the development of the sport.

He called the move a sign of positivity and one that will augur well for the sport going forward. The Ministry of Health under the ‘Gender-based Violence’ theme and the Ministry of Education are also on board.
